Before he was handed over to the Romans, Jesus knew who would betray him. Yet, rather than call out Judas by name, he gives him a chance to repent and gives the disciples a valuable opportunity for self-reflection. While he does say one person in particular will betray him, Jesus tells the disciples that they will all fall away. Every one of the disciples in that room fell away after Jesus’ death, and Jesus welcomed them back anyway. If Jesus welcomed Peter back and reconciled him after his denials, how much more will he willingly receive those who turn their backs on their sin to be reconciled with Christ?
